Scotland Food & Drink Partnership: Our Net Zero Commitment
We announced our Net Zero Commitment in November 2021 at COP26, and it sets out how our we will support the industry to meet its targets, by addressing the challenges and opportunities throughout the food and drink supply chain by a just transition to Net Zero.
We are here to build on the efforts already taken to maintain our high environmental standards and provide leadership, advice and guidance to food and drink businesses, wherever they are on their Net Zero journey.

Over the past few months, the Scotland Food & Drink Partnership Net Zero Commitment have engaged with Sustainability and Net Zero leads from leading retailers and food service organisations to understand their expectations for suppliers and the support available.
The findings have been promising, revealing substantial commercial opportunities for Scottish suppliers committed to progressing on their Net Zero journey.
This webinar offers a great opportunity to gain valuable insights and practical guidance for positioning your business on the path to Net Zero.

The world is in the midst of a climate emergency. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns that urgent action is essential to prevent surpassing 1.5 degrees of warming—a pivotal threshold that poses severe risks to both people and the natural world.
As the nation’s largest manufacturing sector, Scotland’s £15 billion food and drink industry is rising to the challenge, embracing sustainability to safeguard its future and the natural resources it depends on.
Below are examples of Scottish food and drink producers making strides toward sustainability. From those just beginning their net zero journey to those already leading the way, these businesses demonstrate the leadership and ambition needed to help achieve Scotland’s net zero targets while inspiring others to follow suit.
